ISO 17572-2:2018

Intelligent transport systems (ITS) - Location referencing for geographic databases - Part 2: Pre-coded location references (pre-coded profile)

The ISO 17572 series specifies LRMs that describe locations in the context of geographic databases and are used to locate transport-related phenomena in an encoder system as well as in the decoder side. The ISO 17572 series defines what is meant by such objects and describes the reference in detail, including whether or not components of the reference are mandatory or optional, and their characteristics.

The ISO 17572 series specifies two different LRMs:

— pre-coded location references (pre-coded profile);

— dynamic location references (dynamic profile).

The ISO 17572 series does not define a physical format for implementing the LRM. However, the requirements for physical formats are defined.

This document specifies the pre-coded LRM, comprising:

— specification of pre-coded location references (pre-coded profile);

— logical format for VICS link location (Annex A);

— TPEG physical format for ALERT-C (TMC) location references (Annex B, C & D);

— TPEG physical format for ETLs (Annex E, F & G);

— TPEG physical format for Korean node-link ID references (Annex H, I & J).

— logical format for Road Section Identification Data set (Annex K).

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
